Important note if you are using the 1.2 patch or Shivering Isles: Phinix has released a patch to eliminate CTD (crash to desktop) problems with spell effects whose duration is shorter than 1 second (but still not instant effects). These are used by e.g. the trap effects of Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. If you are experiencing such problems and need to install this patch, just do so normally on top of the main Phinix Immersive DarkUI installation, be it manually or by help of this script.
This is an installation script for Phinix Immersive DarkUI. It is to be used in conjunction with Timeslip's Oblivion Mod Manager. When finished (when you have followed the procedure described below), you will end up with an .omod file which can be opened with Oblivion Mod Manager, and which will automatically install (and uninstall and reinstall) Phinix Immersive DarkUI while keeping all of the choices of a manual installation. The purpose of this guide is not to teach you anything about Oblivion Mod Manager (there's far better resources for that), but to make it easier to install Phinix Immersive DarkUI using Oblivion Mod Manager.
This is purely OMOD conversion data for Phinix Immersive DarkUI, and you'll therefore need Timeslip's Oblivion Mod Manager. No part of the original mod is included here. All credits go to Phinix for making this heavily needed compilation/modification, I'm merely making it a lot easier to install and uninstall. I've tried to make things as clear as possible throughout the installation, but I still advise you to read the official readme to get a clear picture of what it actually does.
I've also included an .sfv file to help you check whether or not you've done it correctly, before commencing the final steps.
=== QUICK VERSION ===
1. Download Phinix Immersive DarkUI 1.2, extract to empty folder
2. Extract the archive downloaded here to the same folder
3. In Oblivion Mod Manager, click Create --> Add folder, choose the folder you just extracted to, click yes to everything
Voilá.
=== THOROUGH VERSION ===
This may sound tedious, but it's a rather small amount of work, and automatic installation, uninstallation and reinstallation of Phinix Immersive DarkUI should be worth it.
1. Download Timeslip's Oblivion Mod Manager. I strongly advise you to use the latest version at all times; if you use a too old version, the mod won't even install.
2. Download Phinix Immersive DarkUI 1.2 and unzip it to any empty folder (e.g. C:\Phinix)
2a. OPTIONAL STEP - Navigate to C:\Phinix\_extras and delete the folder there called revertui (you won't be needing it, because Oblivion Mod Manager will revert things for you when you uninstall).
3. Extract this archive (yep, this one with the OMOD conversion data) to the exact same folder as before (in our example, C:\Phinix). This should place three elements in C:\Phinix - a folder called omod conversion data, a file called altsneak1.jpg and another file called Phinix_check.sfv. If you don't do step 3a below, delete Phinix_check.sfv.
3a. OPTIONAL STEP - Download and install the tiny but ingenious application QuickSFV, then run the file Phinix_check.sfv. This is done to check that you currently have exactly the same files as I did when I made this conversion data (and it should therefore work). If it says that all the files are OK, go ahead. If it says that there are missing files, or if it complains about bad files/CRC mismatch, you probably didn't do things quite right. Before going further, delete this file (Phinix_check.sfv).
4. Open your freshly (or not so freshly) installed Oblivion Mod Manager and click Create (at the bottom). In this new window, click Add folder, and browse to and add C:\Phinix. Answer yes to all questions that might arise, especially the one concerning importing OMOD conversion data. This should fill out most fields for you. Just to make sure the script is there, click Edit script, and see if there's anything there. Don't edit ANYTHING, or you might ruin everything. If there's nothing there at all, something went wrong.
5. Click Create omod. You're done!
---------------------
If there's anything wrong with the installation (typos, serious errors, anything), please email me at cmeeren at gmail.com, and I'll se what I can do about it.
I hope this helps people installing, customizing and uninstalling/reinstalling Phinix Immersive DarkUI, and that this easy installation makes the mod applicable for a broader audience. Again, all credits and thanks to Phinix for making this superb mod. Script courtesy of me, everything else courtesy of him and the ones he credits in the readme.
If you like the download, please comment. I'll be happy because I love feedback, and everyone else will be happy because I might be encouraged to add more mods to my portfolio of installation scripts. :)
